Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.


Well, yes. But surely you don't give credence to those rumors about the demise of Mao Tse Tung?

My local newspaper had a sub-headline under the main headline for the story (about Arafat, not Chairman Mao ) something to the effect of:

"Arafat's Death Could Cause Unrest in the Middle East."

My God, what would we ever do If there were ever unrest in the Middle East? But, I can't imagine that ever actually happening.
